Positive Thinking

I agree with you on how the terminology "positive thinking" has been perceived. It sounds almost like a brush-off.

I will say that learning about this type of thinking has saved my life. Literally saved me. There are many methods to this. I have found a variety of them work.

Negative thinking creates acidic waste in our bodies. The more we worry and think about things that "could" happen, the more out bodies produce acid. The more we focus on positive things, the more we combat this process.

There are plenty of books out there that are a total waste of time and energy, but there are some excellent ones too. The ones that I have found extremely "mind-saving" are:

Feelings Buried Alive Never Die - I got this for about $7.00 on amazon. And The Genie in Your Genes. I got this at Barns and Noble a few years ago.

I have this letter I wrote that is has a very positive outlook on today, tomorrow and life. I read it everyday. One line in there says, "I am excited about my future"

When I was at my worst I was reading that about 5 times a day. It's about 2 pages long. After about a month or so I remember one day walking into the living room and actually feeling excited about my future.

This was a HUGE breakthrough because I had been paranoid by my future.

Those books really helped me comprehend this "positive thinking" way of life. I have been a positive thinking person all my life. I wake up happy, go to bed happy and I have a very very happy marriage. So, what is there to be unhappy or negative about?

Sometimes it's a hormonal emballance, sometimes it's chemical. Sometimes it's too much stress. Mine was stress and hormones. I tried medication and that almost killed me. The books helped me overcome the worst of my symptoms.

Today I still have worries, but I know how to work with my mind and it takes discipline to keep it in check, but it is well worth it.

you are right most things we are sacred of never happen . the mind can act like an overprotective mother only seeing the negative horror scenarios . It is important to do 3 things you are afraid of doing everyday to train yourself to let go of this fear

Positive thinking really helps, especially when you are trying to build a business. I believe negative thinking will turn into laziness, and eventually giving up on your projects.

"So next time then, when you are thinking negatively about something, remember something positive can happen." I like this part, or if I can add a little bit, just replace or change with positive thinking. Thanks for the great information,

Nice. Good post. Thank you.

Positive thinking. Positive. Positively.

Thank you for this great post.
Positive people are joy to be around. Be one of them and make long life friends.

That's a great line, feel the fear and do it anyway. This is one way that I believe can remove your deepest of fears from you. I have tried it on me.

I've found that facing and fully experiencing my bouts of anxiety and fear was more helpful to me than trying to change my state by force...

Once you learn how to locate negative energy in your body and how to listen to it, you'll find that fear and worry dissolves by itself at some point. Fear of fear is the worst fear of all and I believe that a lot of people follow positive thinking because they are afraid of negative thoughts.

Thoughts are nothing but thoughts and they originate from you, so you shouldn't be afraid of them... Once you start seeing negative energy for what it really is, you won't be afraid of your bad thoughts and you'll naturally become a more joyous person...

it good to have positive thinking.

like Thomas Edison assistant as "don't you frust can't create a good quality light bulk/boot. i not sure have to spell it but what interest me is

"I just did not find the right way to create it, that all" - that is cool

Thank you for this great post

Yes. Being positive will change you. It will become a driving force to really achieve your dreams. Stay positive! Don't listen to negative people.

Wayne Dyer quotes a similar thing in one of his books. There are two types of worry. Those that you can do something about, and those you have no control over.

If you can do something about it, there is no need to worry, just take action. If there is nothing you can do, like the worry about your death for example, then again, there is no need to worry.

2 types of worry, neither worth the worry!

Thanks for the book 'review' I'll get online and try to pick that up.

Cheers

Positive thinking gives a person positive attitude over life and inspire to live with hope. But a very few person can think positive at the time of adverse situation.

My favorite book is The Magic Of Believing

This was a great post, I love all those types of books. I myself mostly focus on affirmations. If you think about it, everything we say is a an affirmation. The funny thing about affirmations though is that if you start saying affirmations and you believe them on a deep subconscious it can be both very powerful in a positive or negative way.

You see all the time when you see people saying everything in their life is falling apart and lo and behold it is or if you see the person who says their on top of the world and sure enough they are.

Another thing I heard was chaos creates success and I believe this is true especially after hearing Brian Tracy's story as well as other successful motivational men like Joe Vitale and whatnot. Every thought going on in your mind is very real and you just have to be real careful which one you pay attention to. There's a lot to learn when is come to understanding the mind.

it's all about having a positive attitude. Without it, you wouldn't get very far in internet marketing

It is always good to do something good for all, not act like egoist!

If there's something I've learned over the course of past few years, it is that there simply is nothing to worry about.

Think about this for a moment:

Your mind can not tell something that's real from something you vividly imagine.

This is really true, as we think in pictures, and as we worry, oh boy we vividly imagine!

Further on, your body reacts to the thoughts you think - negative thoughts are destructive for your body (this is infact proven). So why worry? Tell me? If it's going to happen, I'd much rather let it happen and hit me once, than experience the thing a thousand times in my head, and in the end it might never even happen.

What I do - is I prepare! I anticipate and prepare myself.

One more thing - there are no such things as failures.

Every failure is a learning experience that carries a seed of equivalent success in the future. So next time you feel like you failed, remember - you have just been enriched

THINGS HAVE NO MEANING OTHER THAN WHAT YOU GIVE TO THEM!

Thank you for the positive message!

You're welcome everyone. : ) And thanks for contributing.

Hi Gordon Gekko.

I'd rather open myself up to the trolls (etc.) in the chance that I can share a positive message with people (that they'll find useful) than not post anything at all.

great post..."positive thinking makes you younger and happy too" can't remember the book.

TL;DR version:

90% of what we worry about never happens.

Make the remaining 10% count - worry (or think) about good things happening.

I agree with your post that 90% of what we worry about does not come true and therefore to think positive is more realistic than negative thinking.

The problem is most people still think negitively.

So the question is how can a negative state of mind be transformed into a positive state of mind? One way this can be done is by changing your negative thought to the opposite or positive.So for example if your thought was about your ill health you would start thinking of health.

Another method is to use your imagination to form a positive image in your mind everytime a negitive thought comes to you.
